Oh good god this was painful! The tightness of the band is something i could deal with, but the tips of the underwires all dug into my ribs. (and that was without breathing in). I like the embroidery and bow details. The cups are just too deep and too narrow for me. I'm quite disappointed with the dimensions of the cups, i had planned to buy more from their range as they have such pretty colours.

I guess I should've read your review before trying the Ella bra and Flirtelle's Petal. I too really like the way CK's bras look but ran into the same problem: painful. I even tried an extender, though I never really thought the band was too tight, and actually it made the tips of the underwires dig in even more as the band rode up my back.
While the experience was a painful exercise in futility it's comforting to know I wasn't the only one who ran into this problem.
